.... hahah

I have internet again!

Den Haag of course

went to Mauritshuis, where the Girl with a Pearl Earring is

Side shot of Binnenhof

Little cafe off Binnenhof-- the car matches the shop perfectly :)

The Peace Palace at a different angle

I love Den Haag

Interesting architectural details on the Fred


The Hague's "skyline" :)

I didn't grow up at a time/place when "Oriental" was used offensively, but it's still funny

The "McKroket"-- a beef/cheese/potato croquette with a mustard sauce. Yum! :P

Random casinos here and there... they are pretty clean and nice, like a chain store but a chain casino.

Den Haag Update

the Peace Palace-- gorgeous inside, too!

Peace Palace gates

Peaceful leafy street I biked down
An example of bikes used to cart the kiddies around (Kids go in box, parent bikes from behind). Very cute!

A cheese store-- yumm!

Last and maybe least :) a funny store in Amsterdam

Holland- Amsterdam & Volendam

Today we took a day trip to some small towns around Amsterdam, then spent a couple hours in Amsterdam. One thing was that it made me really appreciate The Hague-- it is my favorite of them so far, although I need to spend more time in Amster. Another thing was that today we rode a tram, a train, a boat, and a bus. Pretty awesome haha

Amsterdam train station

Just outside the Amsterdam train station

Alley in Amsterdam

Canal in Amsterdam

Cute car in Amsterdam

Various Dutch seafood fare

Clogs for sale to tourists :P

Shores of Volendam, a tiny town

Den Haag- Scheveningen & Sculptures

one of my fave things: everyone bikes! and its safe-- there is strict liability if you hit a biker

at Scheveningen, the beach area of Den Haag

Sculptures along the boardwalk of Scheveningen-- cute & morbid

what I assume is a play on the Dutch boy with his finger in the dam

In Den Haag

Den Haag, The Hague

Around my cute neighborhood

City center --> tram to the right is like the one I ride to work :)

Check out the old smart (or so I assume)! It's even funnier looking than now...
